Summary

Description
English: Tiered rice paddies south of Baucau, Baucau District.

The area surrounding Baucau is a classic rice-growing region at low to moderate altitudes (sea level–500 m). In this type of habitat we commonly encountered rice paddy frogs as well as their snake predators, and some of the perianthropic geckos. Many of these terraced rice paddies have been operational for hundreds of years, and they are a disturbed habitat exposed to strict human-initiated seasonality (a wet growing

season with artificial vegetation and irrigation, a dry fallow season with dry soil and absence of any vegetation)
